Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe they did crab and turret last year.

yup, they did


Incredible job so far...
Truth be told... I'm somewhat fearful
What launches the ball forward?
I understand the pulling back and closing with pneumatics...
And I see the belt being pulled back, but what's the retarding force to that motion? is it a pneumatic firing it out? or is that an elastic launch...

Edit: Are those gas shocks by any chance?

Edit2: never mind... i see the latex tubing

[GaryVoshol]

I won't repeat the jaw-drop smily, but I concur.

Thank you for not entering the Detroit Regional.

WOW!! dave's dream match just might happen or at least some diagonal throws.

[Jeff Rodriguez]

That is truly awesome.
I think alot of people are going to be eating their words about robots not doing more than 4 hurdles a match.
I think I need to go lie down now.

Good song too.

[sprocketeater]

Wow, that's a pretty amazing robot. I can't wait to see it in person at LSR!

[Protronie]

Looking forward to seeing it in action!
Great job team!
